You cannot.
You have to exclude jakarta.servlet for versions < 6 because they
don't have a module-info.class, and use the Jetty jar instead (which
has the module-info.class).

No, as the standard jar does not have module-info.class.

To what Jetty version exactly?
Note that if you upgrade to Jetty 12, you can use the Jakarta jar.
